Have you ever wanted to sit between Lennon and McCartney at Abbey Road as they swing into Revolution #1 for the second time? Or witness the speed of Glenn Gould’s hands in sections of the Goldberg Variations?

Would you like to feel the full force of the Vienna Philharmonic as it storms through Wagner’s Ring? Have you ever wanted to shimmy on stage at the Apollo with James Brown, or holler your approval with the rest of the inmates when Johnny Cash launches into ‘San Quentin’?

There are moments in music when you just want to be there. When the impulse to be part of a recording, of an event in your musical history, takes hold. Moments when the emotional connection between the performer and the audience – you – is tantalisingly close, and their joy, sadness, anger or passion becomes yours as well.

The more lifelike the sound, the more alive that connection can become. When you can pick out details you never heard before, hear musical parts you weren’t aware of and enjoy more subtlety of timbre, that’s when sound can close the gap between reproduction and reality.

It’s the same with movies. When you want to be part of the action, when you want to ride with McQueen through San Francisco, feel Monroe’s breath in your ear, or fire into the Death Star with Luke Skywalker, the finest surround sound will set your pulse racing.

The very best sound systems will reconstruct the acoustic environment and put you where you want to be. Don’t settle for less than the closest you can get.
